P. ; Mr. J. Blake, M. P. ; Mr. Blew itt, M. P. ; Major M'Namara, M.P. ; Mr. Vigors, M. P. ; Mr. Ashton Yates, M. P. ; Mr. Maule, M. P. ; Mr. Holland, M. P. ; Mr. Hutton, M.P. ; Mr. Roche, M P. ; Mr. M. O'Connell, M. P. ; Mr. John O'Connell, M. P. ; Mr. M. J. O'Connell, M. P. ; Sir John Scott Lillie, Count Taafe, Mr. Lover, Mr. Kiernan, Mr. M'Leod, Mr. Barnwell, &c. Justice having been done to the dinner, of which we have only time to say it was excellent, " Non nobis Domine," was sung by the vocalists in parts, and produced a very impressive effect. The Gallant CHAIRMAN then addressed the company, and said—ln this free country the toast of constitutional Majesty was always received with that profound respect due to the exalted station. On the present occasion, that profound re spect was raised in every bosom to enthusiasm.--( Hear, hear.) lie had heard it remarked by those who had opportunities of forming an opinion of the character of our young Queen he- fore she came to the throne, that her reign would probably be as glorious as that of Elizabeth or Anne, and without the re ligious persecution of the one, or the ruinous wars of the other.—( Hear, hear.) They would all drink with delight— " The health of their kind, lovely, and constitutional young Queen."—( The toast was drank with immense and long continued applause.) " God save the Queen" was sung in splendid style, the com pany and band joining in the chorus. The Criaismat.; said the next toast was one they would de light to honour. They would all unite in drinking, with affec tion and gratitude--." The health of the Duchess of Kent." — (The toast was drunk, like the former, with great applause.) The vocalists sung--" Flora, give me sweetest flowers." The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had to propose was, " The Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal family resident in England.—(Great applause.) He need scarcely observe that he entirely concurred in the spirit of the toast, though there happened to be one of the Royal family not resident in England.—( Cheers and laughter.) As an Irish man he could not join in the toast had it been otherwise.— ( Hear, hear.) The toast was drunk with long-continued applause, the ' company as they repeated it laying great emphasis on the words resident in England. Song--" Flail, smiling morn." The CHAIRMAN—There was a toast which must always be dear ti the people of a free country, which he could not delay to give—" The People, the source of all legitimate power." The toast was drunk with the greatest applause. The CHAIRMAN said, after the triumph the people bad achieved in that great measure—the Reform Bill, the next im portant measure was the correction of abuses in the govern ment of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Within the last year it had been objected to the present Ministers that they acted as if they insisted to legis'.ate exclusively for Ireland. Those who knew the grievances under which Ireland suffered from past government, would not accu e thesis for having applied their attention to her deliverance.—( lhar, hear.) They were the first Ministry that attempted to govern Ireland without re ference to religion, sectarian, or party feelings.—(Hear, hear.) The toast he had to propose was, " Her Majesty's Ministers." The toast was drunk with great applause. The CHAIRMAN had now to propose a toast which Irishmen would drink with pleasure—Lord Mulgrave and the Irish Go vernment. They all knew the admirable manner and the ex cellent effect with which the Noble Lord exercised the duties of his most important office. His enemies made feeble, abor tive, and he might say contemptible, attacks on his Go. ern ment, in the House of Lords; but Lord Mulgrave disproved and rebutted all their assertions, and probably we should never hear more of them.—( Hear.) They would all drink with plea sure—" Lord Mulgrave and the Irish Government." The toast was drunk with all honour and applause. Song—" And cloth not a meeting like this." The CHAIRMAN was now arrived at tile name to do honour to which was the great object of their meeting.—( The whole company instantly rose and gave repeated rounds of applause.) When he looked back even to a recent period, at the state in which his country was ; when lie considered what it was when Mr. O'Connell had commenced his career of patriotism —even after what he had achieved in a few years—it ap peared incredible that any people could have remained in in such a degraded state so long. Nine-tenths of the people of Ireland had then no voice in the legislation ; the change that has since taken place, had—from a small be ginning—become the admiration of the Empire and the world—( Hear, and loud cheering)—and it was mainly owing to Mr. O'Connell's wisdom, and foresight, and huma nity, and the generous use he made of his power, by which he excited the people to vindicate their rights in the most peace ful manner, and prevented any excess of feeling, which, under less able and humane guidance might have steeped the coun try in blood.—( Hear, hear.) lie had taught the civilized world the greatest lesson of any man who had ever power to struggle for the freedom of his country, to appeal to moral, not to physical force.—(Great applause.) Mr. O'Connell had recently given strong proof of his readiness to sacrifice even his popularity to the true interests of the people. There was no doubt he would follow up his enlightened view on that subject in legislation, and would render great good to both countries. There was no instance in history in which a power ful Aristocracy—powerful, he would say, from their possessions and constitution, and great intellect—there was no instance in history of a private individual, in opposition to such an Aris tocracy, having arrived at the summit of moral force and in fluence Mr. O'Connell had attained. The recent occurrence had but served to give stability to his power, which ho exer cised with so much moderation. As his power increased his wisdom and moderation appeared to increase also. He should not longer detain them from the eloquence they were all so anxious to hear, but would at once give the toast—" Daniel O'Connell." The toast was drunk with the most rapturous aad long-con tinued applause. When the applause had in some degree subsided, Mr. O'Connell rose and took his stand on the table, which ope rated as a signal for the renewal of the applause ; in which the ladies bore their full share, as far as waving their handkerchiefs could give expression to their feelings. Mr. O'CONNELL was at length permitted to proceed He would own, and he said it without the least affectation— (the Hon. Gentleman appeared to be deeply affected)—he never in his life felt so overpowered as when first he entered that room. When he looked at such an assemblage, he asked himself could he be the cause? He could account for the natives of his own country, who were in the habit of committing the error of considering his co-operation with them in the cause of freedom as entitling him to their grati tude. But it could not be that such a company had met to gether in the greatest country in the world to pay a compli ment to him. No ; it was to testify their approbation of the great principles that had guided his public life. It was the principle that the freedom and happiness of the human race was to be obtained without violence, without shedding one drop of blood.—(Hear.) He was delighted the more that they had not met in flattery for him, but in sympathy for his country._.( Hear, hear.) They knew she had for years been badly governed—there was no mincing the matter—their fathers had connived at the wrong.—( Hear, hear.) No country under the sun ever suffered so much from connection with another country as Ireland had done from its connection with England. How few of those whom ho addressed knew what had been the laws oppressing Ireland for hundreds of years—how few knew that at one time it would have been legal to kill an Irishman like himself ! Their Chairman had by no means overstated what was once the miserable condition of Ireland. Farther, the Irish were prohibited from accu mulating property; was that no grievance? They had also been prohibited from education ; was there no injustice in that ?—( Hear, hear.) And that was the state of Ireland when he was born—it was rather different now.—(Cheers.) Though it would be presumptuous in him to boast that he had taken any part in promoting the change, he might be allowed to say that he had witnessed the change, and that he had enjoyed it, and ho wouli tell them why—because it had enabled him, and those who thought with him, to show the gratitude that was felt for the sympathy of England towards Ireland, and to show it by joining in the struggle making in Engl an d f or th e ad vancement of English liberty.—( Hear, hear.) But he would not disguise his sentiments. His first thoughts were for Ireland ; and he was sure they would pardon him for loving the green land of Lis birth.—(Cheers.) He, however, should feel that he was unworthy of Isis country if he had not joined in the struggles to advance the liberties of all this great empire. When the Reform Bill was in jeo pardy, did he stop to calculate what was to be gained by balancing between parties?—( Hear, hear.) No ;he supported with all his ability, as did those who thought and acted with him; and the Reform Bills for England and Scotland, and the Municipal Corporation Bills for England and Scotland, were passed—trade was opened to Ilindostan and to China—and the prospect of liberty was secured to 800,000 men. He, therefore, felt that he had some ti t l e t o their sympathy.—(Hear, bear.) Well, then, he would as k leer, them, after so mach had been achieved for England and Scotland, whether Ireland ought to remain as it was ?—( No, no.) Those whom he addressed had got a Reform Bill of a very extensive character, though, he admitted, short of what they ought to have, for, without meaning to offend any one, he frankly avowed that he was the advocate of Universal Suf frage. They might dispute his discretion in making the avowal—but he never was a discreet politician.—( A laugh and cheers.) He believed that all who p&d towards the maintenance of the State in purse or person, were entitled to a voice in the representation. They, however, had got their Reform Bill—but how infinitely more extensive than the Irish Reform Bill.—( Hear, hear.) And the worst of the Irish Reform Bill was, that it went just far enough to expose them to all the tyrannies of Spottiswoode gangs—(Cheers)—and before all, and above all, to the e perjury" of Tory Com mittees.—( Tremendous cheering.) to fro a m cco l u 'i n m t ' for them. He would repeat the words The press might te-morro a . n e d g t i l v i e u u m 't i e g r i a l i t n i c l e ) e e t s t o p h o t e h k o e s —if meansaldvvoi words sd his ya s. martyr for repeating this troth, he was ready ; he declared that Ireland was not safe from the " per jury" of the English and Scotch gentry upon the Committees. Thi:n.efiyngtig'tceoacroloekl e-n"d a .ee n re oa t t o h b o e n a thelioly Gospels to do justice, and they acted to promote the interests of party.--( Hear, hear.) Was not that horrible to think of ?—( Hear, hear.) That they should so act, who so swore —they who were to be the examples of surrounding thousands who were on the Bench administering the laws, and whose conduct was watched in order to be imitated ; that such persons in the House of Com mons rhould " perjure" themselves —he repeated, was not that horrible to think of ?—( Hear, hear.) The time was come to proclaim the fact, and if a martyr to this cause of truth were wanting he was ready.—(llear, hear.) Now, ought they not to assist him to correct this evil, as well as net an enlarged Reform Bill for Ireland, that country's Mem bers having assisted England? At that time Lord Stanley vets Secretary for Ireland, and, unfortunately, that Secretary was toe successful in over-riding the Grey Administration on the subject of the Irish Reform 11:11.—( I lear. ) He then had to ask them to assist !relate! t o get P arl i amentary Reform and Municipal Reform equal to the measures possessed by England and Scotland.—(A voice exclaimed, " All alike"— an exclamation which, from its terseness and appositeness, called forth loud and instantaneous applause ) Yes, " all Cheers') The wit of Curran and the eloquence of Fox could not have said anything better at that moment. The words should henceforth be inscribed on their banners, " All alike."—(Continued cheers.) He thanked the gentle man for supplying him with such correct words. But how stood the fact ? At present it was all unlike.—( Hear, hear.) Now, they might recollect that there existed between the two countries what was called a Union ; but did not a Union mean " all alike ?"—(Cheers.). And yet, was all so unlike was there anything so disuniting as an " all unlike" Union? —( Hear, hear. ) lie, therefore, distinctly repeated, and gladly adopted, the language of the gentleman—if the Union were to he preserved and justice done—" all alike."—(Continued cheers.) He had often repeated that the Union was a cob web, except justice were done, and that the fight that was car ried on was very like the war in which the giant and the dwarf engaged—the giant got the plunder, and the dwarf re ceived the blows. That he had often felt that he was the dwarf, not personally, certainly; he had before sought to sever that Union as injurious to his country. And why did he pursue a dif ferent course now ? Because that company told him that there was no necessity to look for the severance of the Union to secure justice for Ireland. —(Cheers.) No ! that honest expression, " All alike," would pass beyond that room, and go through Ireland ; and there the sentiment would be echoed— if the Union were to be continued they must be " all alike." —(Cheers.) His efforts would be to make the Union com plete ; but that could only be done by an equalization of rights, They had Municipal Corporations reformed. What had Ireland ?—lle wished the . y could see an Irish Corporation. —( A laugh.) No miserable farce at the most miserable theatre could be more trumpery and desaicable—only the thing was not farcical in its power and punishments, and it had a sting in its tail.—( Laughter and cheering.) There, in Dublin, they had a Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Councilmen, elected by some 400 persons ; and they had considerable property ; but if all Ireland were Orangemen they had nothing to spare--" the thieves had only enough for themselves."—( Loud cheering and laughter.) The Reform had not done much for Ireland ; and what was ' the prospect? Unless a ray of common sense shed itself over the high character and military renown of the Duke of Wel lington, or come over the selfish calculations of his colleague, Sir R. Peel, the Lope fur Ireland would not be so strong acd immediate as he should like it to he. Still he had this con solation, that the spirit of John Bull would not suffer any ad ministration long to remain in office that subjected Ireland to the government of a faction. If that were not his conviction, he should almost despair—if he dared to despair.—( Hear. ) But the Reform Bill and the Municipal Corporation Reform sill mu:4 be " all alike." He sought nut to take any other alternative; but there had been that state of things in Ireland which no prudent administration would resist, and he now said, though many winter's snows had passed over his head, his blood still flowed so ficely in his veins, that he unhesitatingly declared that the wrongs of Ireland must be righed ; or, if England would not co-operate, Ireland must see what it could do for itself. Ireland must not continue to suffer wrongs ; they must be and must be righted. —( Cheers.) lie was a practical man. —( Bear. ) He came there to thank them for their kindness to him ; and he had occupied himself in advocating the cause of his country.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said of him that he had been taken under the Ministerial wing ; if that were so, he knew he had never plucked a feather ; while he had this consolation, that under that wing his country had found shelter against birds of prey and ill omen. By that Government, and by the magic of that sceptre which he had that day beheld, possessed by a beautiful little creature, his country had been protected ; and they proved that if it were desired to make Ireland loyal—for Irishmen were creatures of the heart as well as of the head ; if it were wished to make the links binding the two countries indissoluble—they hail only to restore rights, and to administer justice, by a fair/ sylph-like being, such as now filled the Throne of these realms. And this was the moment to effect that glorious work. Let it be remembered that they were now making history, and with that impression he thought they all ought promptly and zealously join in the great work of regenera tion. And all could aid—none was too humble to assist in the glorious work—in completing that union between two countries which nature seemed to have formed for the social compact with Ireland, that had ever joined so liberally in fighting the battles of England. With such a union com pleted, he should laugh to scorn the hordes of Russian bar barians, and the combined efforts of all the despots of the continent : but there must be that union complete, with the basis of justice, and equality of rights, or the superstruc ture would have a foundation of sand. There must be jus tice to all. When he went to his pillow at night or left his bed in the morning, he never forgot to feel that as ho was the pensioned servant of the people of Ireland—his duty was to leave no nerve unstrained, no exertion untried, no sympathy unsought, to secure liberty for his country. But what did he behold in the Commons' House ?—almost a ma jority against Ireland, and in the Lords, they were rampant and triumphant against his country. And, gracious God they called themselves Conservatives, and disguised their hos tility under the name of religion. Injustice might make its martyrs—hut, call them by what names they pleased, he would not term the workers of such injustice Christians.— ( Hear, hear.) They asked whether Irishmen were ready to consort with them in a particular mode of faith :—and Irish men answered, " Look to our actions," for no matter what had been the caste, colour, or creed of those with whom they were contending, they had ever been found on the side of civil and religious freedom. But he bad trespassed too long on their indulgence.—( No, no.) He, however, was delighted at what he believed to have brought them there. What was it ? Not to flatter the man ; but to recognise the principle-- that principle on which he had ever proceeded, abhorrence of force, in conjunction with the conviction of being in the right. He, however, must conclude ; he detained them too long.— (No, no.) lie bad this consolation, that though he had passed some years in the struggle, be believed himself to be still young enough to hope that he had still many years to engage in the promotion of that cause which he was sure they all had so much at heart.—(Cheers.) He therefore had only to thank them for the transcendent compliment that they had paid to him, and for the enthusiastic manner in which they had received the proposition. It would shine forth as the rising sun after the storm—it would be hailed as the day star of liberty to Ireland ; and the gladness that would be circulated in Ireland in conse quence, would not be confined to that country, but would go to the Continent, and tell the despots there, how they had re ceived the humble but zealous advocate of civil and religious liberty.—( Hear.) The sound of their gratulations would pass through Ireland ; and would assuage the feelings of those who, by the wild means of revenge, would seek for justice ; but would strengthen the confidence in that Mulgrave Go vernment which blessed Ireland above all : Ireland would not forget those who had so received its bumble but zealous advo cate.—( Cheers.) Song, " I look to the West," by Mr. Lover. The CHAIRMAN then said that the toast which he had now to propose was—" The Members of Parliament who were the friends of Ireland."—(Cheers ) Mr. Hume rose amidst loud applause and said that as one of the Members of Parliament included in that toast which had been so flatteringly received, ho rose to acknowledge the compliment conferred on him. He had been a friend of Ireland, not of to-day—(Loud cheers) —but from the time he had entered Parliament as a representative of Scotland. As soon as he was able to see the state of Ireland, and the manner in which she was mis-governed, lie considered that it became his duty, in the situation in which he was placed —unconnected with Whig or Tory, firmly to state and to ex pose the master grievance of that country; and he looked back with great satisfaction at the progress made in the redress of the wrongs by which she seas oppressed; and, in reference to this he had been greatly pleased to see the assembly which had been brought together this evening, as the testimony of respect which was paid to Mr. O'Connell for his great ser vices to the country.—( Hear, and cheers.) lie considered the compliment to be one paid to the cause he supported— civil and religious liberty—(Cheers)—and he had no hesita tion in saying—and he spoke not lightly, having worked zea lously in that cause for mazy years—that the services of his Hon. Friend, great as they were, could never be compensated --(Loud cheers) —they were above all value, and when he stated this he considered that it was not his own countrymen alone, but every Englishman, every Scotchman, every friend of freedom and good government ought alike to raise their voices to applaud bins who had done so much to promote the success of the general cause in which they were all embarked. —(Cheers.) The cause of Ireland had been too long held up as one separate from that of England. That had been the trick of party politics employed by those who so long had misruled Ireland.—( Hear.) They had thus instilled preju dices into the minds of Scotchmen and Englishmen for the purpose of enabling themselves to carry on that r,y.ctea. l F misrule which had added wealth and power to the acquisitrO."s they had already gained by weakening the public and general cause of the empire.—(Cheers.) Therefore it was they I should consider the services of Mr. O'Connell in the cause of liberty and equal rights to be beyond all value.—(Cheers.) It was a mistake to imagine that whilst there was misrule in Ireland they could have good government in England. — (Cheers.) The interests of both countries were identified, and no misrule could exist in one without the evil spreading till the canker had reached every portion an d ever y interest of the empire. The present meeting was a pledge that they were free from party prejudices, and whilst they were assembled to pay a tribute to Mr. O'Connell, they might well congratu late themselves, that in working out good government for Ire land, it was a prelude to the extension of it in this country.— (Cheers.) lie was pleased that Ireland had p, .tied so much, but much still remained to be acquired. What ti'.sey had pro cured encouraged them to go on, and lie would say, that iso- I sted as he was, and lie had never tied himself to any party, he acknowledged that he supported the Whigs when they were the proposers of good measures, but lie was free to denounce their acts, if he believed them to be contrary to what lie con sidered was right and just ; and therefore it was, that he had no hesitation in saying, that whilst there was no man more disinterested than he was, yet having supported them whims he thought they deserved it, he considered that he had a right to reproach them when they pursued a course which he dal not believe to be a straightforward one. lie was anxious to be able to give them his support, and he rejoiced to see that the liberal course of policy adopted by Lord Mulgrave had been so benefi cial and useful to Ireland.—( Cheers.) But lie wished to see the institutions of Ireland so reformed, and placed upon such a basis that they would not depend upon the breath of any man. —(Lord cheers.) He wished to see those institutions founded upon law, and then they might laugh to 'scorn any changes which might take place as regarded individuals. When he said this lie considered that the more honour was due to Lord Nltilgrave for the course he had taken, divested of that power which the law could bestow, and which the country had a right to expect should be extended to every portion of it.-- ( Hear.) He dill red from those who said that the Reformers of England did not desire the welfare of Ireland. lie consi dered, on the contrary, that every right-thinking Reformer in Great Britain most anxiously desired it. There were only one or two more remarks with which be would trouble the meeCng. The politician was indeed short-sighted who did not see that an improvement in the institutions of this country would arise from the improvement of these of Ireland ; and that they mainly forwarded the extension of popular rights generally, by placing the Irish nation as steadily as possible on au equality with themselves.—( Cheers ) When they had ac complished this, they would have acquired a position in which united they could stand or move, and demand, with a power that could not be evaded, an accession to, end a further ance of, popular tights.—( Loud cheers.) On that ac count great sacrifices should be made to maintain in power those who promised to carry out the principles of equal justice.—( Cheers.) And thus it was that he agreed with Mr. O'Connell, that whilst they regretted the backsliding of the Government—whilst they regretted that, in reference to the second great charter of their liberties, it had hesitated to grant that which alone could give the free right to exercis the franchise ; yet he hoped that this would last but for a short time, and that the Ministry would see that their stability and honour were involved in carrying out the objects of the Reform Bill: those objects which the promoters of it had promised should he achieved.—(Cheers.) On those grounds he would say, that notwithstanding what had oc curred, they would fur the present be contented to take what they could get, and above all, exert themselves to place Ireland on an equality with themselves, and give to her people the same rights which they themselves possessed. He would net enter into a deteil of the evils which oppressed Ireland ; but he would assert that there was no man who was a sincere Referiner, who could hesitete-to promote those rights which Ireland dr mended as her rights..—( Ch eers .) If hi s (Mr. Hume's) services in the Legislature were of any value to hi s country, they had been continued to it by the liberal con duct of the " boys of Kilkenny."—(hear, hear, and cheers.) They had acted towards him in a manner which commanded his gratitude and admiration. They continued hint as a Mem ber of Parliament—and he could assure them that his efforts for the good government of Ireland would not now be les sened.—( Cheers. ) Unconnected with his rresent ties, lie had been the zealous friend of Irelaud—and, connected a ith them, lie would be same—(Loud cheers)—more he could not.' be. —( Cheers. ) The Hon. S. LANGDALE was unconnected with Ireland by blood or property, but, in this instance, a peculiar tic of attachment to Ireland existed—it was the strongest bond which could exist between man and man, the brotherhood of misfortune. --(Loud cries of " hear, hear.") A few years ago he had shared the proscription which deprived the Mem bers of a partieuler creed of the common lights of freedom, and his gratitude was due to Ireland ; for it was by her exer- tions this ban of proscription bad been removed, and Le was most happy, therefore, to have the oenortunity of paf use tr:lute of applause to his Honourable Friend, Mr. O'Cot new, for ',zinging forth the energies of his ecuntry, tLc exertions of which enabled him to dlress that assembly in the chin-ac tor he did.—( Loud cheers.) As the professor of a certain religion he had been proseril ed, and he should not feel satis fied with himself if he did re': express his feeling and that of the great body of those who professed the same religion witit himself, if he did tof offsr his leunele meed of applause to his Honourable Friend near him.—(Loud cheers.) Ile would conclude by proposing to them the toast of " Justice to Ireland."—(Loud applause.) Mr. O'CONNELL wished to propose to them a toast, the health of his Gallant and esteemed Friend, their Chairman,— ( Loud and continued cheers.) He might, perhaps, exceed the limits of expression which were correct in his presence. but he was proud that to him, his personal friend and his fel low -countryman, had been confided the liberties of that great portion of the metropolis, a circumstance which placed him in so enviable a situation, that there was no man who must not feel proud to receive a compliment at his hands.—(Loud cheers.) His situation was enviable, as having been returned the representative of one of ties. most intellectual consti tuencies in the known world, and this situation had not been attained by any of those acts which disgraced elec tioneering policy.—( Cheers.) He owed it to his own cha racter, that their free suffrages had confided to him the liberty of the people of Westminster, and had placed him in the situation he occupied in the Legislature of the empire. Cheers.) It was not for him (Mr. O'Connell) to look to what were his merits. His early life had been passed in the service of his country, in which the laurels he had won bad been acquired in a war which added lustre to its glories. In the struggles in whichilie had been since engaged in Spain— and he (Mr. O'Connell) would not now offer any opinion as to the conflict of parties there—but they had reason to be proud that the valour of the British soldier had been there vindicated, unmixed with the cruelty which had stained the arms of other countries—and if—lie (Mr. O'Connell) only put it hypothetically in the presence of his Hon. and Gallant Friend—it were true that he had been brave as his own sword, still he had thrown over the vanquished his protection, as if the guiltless blood that thrilled through the veins of in fancy had been poured through his, and as if he had been animated with the spirit infused from the hold strength that throbbed in the breast of the British soldier. His Gallant Friend had lately received the honours which were the ap proving gift of his Sovereign--(Loud cheers)—and if he now addressed him as Sir George de Lacy Evans, it was the ap plication of a title won in those fields where British valour led him triumphant—where he had borne down even the courage infused by republican institutions, and shown that, in the stand-up fight, no arm can resist the prowess of the British soldier.— ( Cheers.) There was one pleasing eircum ! stance to which with satisfaction lie could allude ; in the present era the British soldier was no longer the military leader of armed men, bound by a system of explicit obedience. British soldiers were not now the mere automata, giving passive obedience as the tools of a despot—they now united the qualification of the citizen to that of the soldier, and amongst the most gallant defenders of their country were to be found the soundest and most disinterested patriots. The arms of the soldiers yielded to the gown of the citizen, and the glories of the citizen contributed to exalt the bravery of the mili:ary man.—( Loud cheering.) And in the case of his Honourable and Gallant Friend, he might well ask, what question either of civil or religious liberty had been debated in Parliament, in which he was not amongst the foremost in the fight ? What question of taxation had conic before the Legislature of the country in which he was not foremost to assist in diminishing the weight of taxatiou, and of the burthens of the people ? What question had been proposed which involved the extension of human liberty, of which that gallant soldier had not been the advocate ? ( Loud cheers.) This was a pleasing circumstance to dwell upon as regarded the British soldier ; it was one which augured well for posterity.—( Loud cheers.) His Gallant Friend had said that he ( Mr. O'Connell) in his address had spoken of the future rather than the past. What to him was there of the past to speak ? The soldier could look upon the laurels and upon the circumstances which had gained them, and could then dwell upon the oaken crown which decked his brow, and which had been acquired in conferring benefit upon his country ; but why should he (Mr. O'Connell) refer to the past ? There was one remark, however, which ho would make,—whilst in Ireland they struggled for equal rights in the effort to preserve Catholic Emancipation—his hope of success was increased when he saw an increase of the male creation thrown into their assemblies ; and when man after man thronged upon them and increased their numbers, but his expectations were further increased, when the other sex shed an influence on theirjcouncils. From the moment he ob served that an interest was taken in them by the purer portion of the creation, then he saw that the cause was fortified, rind that no being dare indulge in those councils the grovelling passion of interested ambition, and that everything disgraceful, every feeling that could tend to degrade or to alloy, must be flung aside, and that all that was generous and noble in the aspirations of mankind fur the advantage of the human race must be brought into the strength of rivalry for superioity in the presence of those whom nature framed as purer beings.--( Cheers.) It was, therefore, he congratulated his Hon. and Gallant Friend that his firmness in the field and his fidelity as a citizen were rewarded by the overwhelming majority of the voices of the enlightened and intelligent, and smiled on by those who con ferred honour where they esndeseended to smile.—(Loud cheers.) He would now propose to them the health of their Chairman, Sir George de Lacy Evans.—( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN was sensibly grateful for the honour they had conferred on him ; he could only say that he had con scientiously performed his duty to his constituents. Since his return to Parliament some ueforescen circumstances had oc curred, but in reference to these, he considered he had dono his duty, and acquired the approbation of his constituents.

EL ECTION—SIR JAMES 1; . 1: A H A M. coh n :EsFONDENT.) (FROM OUR O',%N TUESDAY, FEB. 20.—Sir James GraL. am was returned with out opposition as Member fur the borough Pembroke this day. He was accompanied by Sir John Gwen, Col( nel Owen, the late Member, and several gentlemen resident io the neighbourhood. • After being proposed by Mr, Mathias, of Lamplie3', end seconded by Mr. Adams, of Holylah:I, Sir James Galiarei addressed the electors in a speech of aboti. an hour, whirls was principally remarkable for his unsparing abuse of the present Ministry, whom he deseribee, " if not the meet dan gerous, were at all events the shabbiest that ever existed." He then attacked Mr. O'Connell, whom he said -it was the policy of Earl Grey's Administration to hold at arms' length, but thin the present Ministry owed their existence to him. He then defended his own character of being an apostate, renegade-, Whig, &c., and defied any one to point out in what respect ht had deviated from the principles he had always held, and that he had not deserted his former friends ard colleagues in ad versity, but when he was in possession of one of the highest offices under the Crown. He also alluded to the remarks of the IVelchman and Cambrian newspapers of last week, one of which insinuated that it was on account of some considera tion from the heavy to the PO/ Baronet that the borough was , turned over to him, the truth of which he denied. And he stated his gratification at being returned by the almost unani mous support of afire constituency. After leaving the Town Hall he was cheired through the town.. I observe in the Morning Chronicle raper of the 17th inst. a correspondent states that S:r James Graham :would probably be opposed with every prospect of success, and who hope& the Admiralty would exercise their legitimate influence over the Dock-yard workmen on the occasion. It is, however, an en.feramete fact that the Admiralty (as :veil as some other public departments) permit all the patronage and place to be held by their avowed opponents the Tories. Sir James Graham was accompanied down in the Mail by It's brother, Captain Graham and Captain Laws, R.N., aka intends proceeding to London to-morrow to take his sent. In order to give your readers an idea of Sir James Graham b iing returned by a free constituency, I send you a statement of Pembroke and its contributory boroughs, taken from the Corporation . Commissioners' Report of March, 1834, since which the freemen have considerably diminished and the ten pound householders increased ; besides which there is no doubt but a large portion of the freemen could be disfranchised if proper steps acre taken, so that there is some hopes that he may be succes.9:l//y opposed at the neat election.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT. The Hampshire Banking Company have this day opened a branch establishment in this town, and intend opening another at Ryde and one at Cowes, an accommodation much wanted, particularly in the latter town, and will remove a great deal of inconvenience felt there by mast ers, owne rs , and passengers of the numerous Foreign and English ships touching there, and als3 the vast swarms of summer visitors. It is surprisinc , no banking establishment has been opened there before ; there is not a wine merchant—but one furnishing iron monger, one fishmonger, and one pawnbroker —to furnish the thousand wants of the united towns of East and West Cowes, containing full six thousand residents, and often visited by double that number of strangers. • i
